    This is a Must experience!

    What an amazing experience! Lena was the best instructor a newbie could have asked for. Neither one of us had scuba dived prior to this experience. She was great at showing us tips, communication, and all the most beautiful places to see sea life. We spent a total of 2+ hours under water! We say parrot fish, eel, spiny lobster, angel dish, dragon fish and every other colorful fish you would want to see. If I could give this experience 20 stars I would. This private scuba experience was the best!

    Highly recommend Dive Guru!

    Awesome experience with great instructors. I did an open water dive in Cozumel and a Cenote dive in Playa del Carmen. Both dives were outstanding and so was the Dive Guru experience.

    Very satisfied

    I’m PADI certified beginner from Canada and I have been diving with Diving Guru in January 2023. Sergey and Lena are very professional instructors, I feel very safe and comfortable diving with them around. I got lot of help and good advices from them as beginning diver. I recommending this outfit to others and if I get back to Playa del Carmen again, I’ll contact them for next diving. Thank you folks and all the best to you, Ziggy.

    Awesome diving experience!

    Diving with Dive Guru was one of the most impressive experiences during our trip to Mexico and probably in life in general! :) Our amazing instructor Elena was so knowledgeable, patient, helpful and friendly! That was the very first dive for my husband and I, and to be honest we were a bit nervous at the beginning, but Elena helped us to relax, understand the main principles of diving and focus on exploring the coral reef and sea dwellers! We'd love to come back and dive with Dive Guru again! Thank you so much for this!

    Try dive in Cozumel island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

    How much does Try dive in Cozumel island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Try dive in Cozumel island take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.

    Is Try dive in Cozumel island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Try dive in Cozumel island?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Try dive in Cozumel island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Try dive in Cozumel island?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Try dive in Cozumel island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
